There’s a touch of desperation in this. The I newspaper in the week reported that the Tories have a problem appealing to women voters. Now possibly one solution to this would be to launch ‘female friendly’ policies, like improving childcare facilities, flexible working time, a greater commitment to equalities legislation, campaigns to promote more women to positions of management, help for women entering traditionally male-dominated jobs, and so on. No, obviously the Tories don’t want to do that, because that would mean interfering with the economy and private industry, who would resent such measures. The Daily Mail is always going on that increased maternity leave, for example, will penalise firms for employing women by adding increased costs.

So how do they try to counter the accusation that they are dangerously unpopular with Britain’s ladies.? Easy – they go on about how sexy George Osborne is. Really. Well, when New Labour came to power, they tried it with Gordon Brown. Brown, according to one headline, was ‘New Labour’s Mr Darcy’, following the adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that was on TV at the time.

It all reminds me of the time the Daily Mail declared that Cecil Parkinson was handsome or sexy. My mother did a straw poll of her female friends, and found that they were completely the opposite. In their view he was ‘smarmy’, and they made it very plain that they wouldn’t like to be stuck in a lift with him.

Lady Olga Maitland also tried the same thing to sex up Maggie’s family. In her biography of Maggie Thatcher, she described her son, Mark, as ‘handsome’. Private Eye in their review of the book went through it noting the various factual inaccuracies, such as when the dates were out by a couple of years or more. When they came to this alarming statement, they said simply ‘come off it.’ No doubt other women could think of stronger words to describe this latest attempt to stress the sexual desirability of leading Tory politicians.

Put it this way, I’d fuck him like he has fucked us all I have a dildo here as I write this, with luxury barbed wire attachment linked up to several thousand volts of electricity, I also got his father in law to Frack on it first for good measure.
